CLT

I had only been to the CLT, or at&t Center for Learning & Technology once before for a group project. I did not really understand what it was there for and I had not gone back since this assignment. Now i have learned to many advantages to having this center right in our library!

Firstly, what is the CLT? Well, it is a computer lab located on the first floor of the library that uses a mix of Windows and Mac computers. There are workstations designed to help people interact with digital media, such as audio, video, and graphic works. CLT also provides scanners and digital cameras (which is good to know, because I always drive to Office Max to take care of my media needs).

There are three separate rooms within the CLT. They are the Media Presentation room (equipped with DVD players, cameras, projectors, and computers and is open to both students and faculty), the Technology Classroom (which has all of the above, plus allows the instructor to take control of any computer in the room), and the Seminar Room (which has a projection screen, chalk boards, and lights that dim).

If you ever need help using any of the things CLT provides, you are in luck. The staff at CLT are extremely knowledgeable and will help assist you either in groups or one-on-one. Also, if you enjoy the great cable we get here at Trinity, you also have CLT to thank. They are the reason we have our 79 channels and the reason TigerTV runs successfully.

I had no idea CLT was such a big part of the way certain aspects of Trinity is run. Now I am more appreciative of that area on the first floor that I had no idea what was for. I will be able to use this area now for when I have digital based projects. I have a media interpratiation class this semster and we do a a lot of video and image based projects. Now i know I have a place to work on those with people that will help me if I need explinations about equipment. It is also nice to know that if I have any questions about how to work something media or computer based, I know i can go to CLT for help.
